I am a young Golden Retriever who was a homeless dog, I was moments away from being killed when I was rescued by Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR), given a foster home, then a forever home. I write this blog to inspire other dogs and humans to help find homes for abandoned dogs. My family takes in fosters now and I help homeless dogs find their way to forever homes.

Above, Service Dog, Ruby in her working uniform! The power of the pack, we are calling for the power of the pack. Call in the hounds, call in the poodles, call in the Siberians, call in the mini-dogs, call in the big dogs. Calling all fur friends! If we had a horse, we could ride down the road calling "To Paws, To Paws, the Blog Voting is coming!"

A wonderful blog is up for an award.Raising Ruby is a blog about the daily life and training of Ruby, a service dog in training. Go to her blog and see what it takes to make a beautiful puppy into a wonderful service dog. Follow her life, and you will also be learning a lot about training and service to others. Go to http://servicepuppyruby.blogspot.com/ then save it because you are going to need it every day.

Save this link as well, http://dogtime.com/petties which is the blog you will go to to vote, twice, through July 29th. You vote twice, because Raising Ruby is nominated in two different categories, so be sure to vote in each category. Ruby is under Best Blog Post, and under Best Cause Related Blog. Apparently the rules allow you to vote twice a day. If you have more than one computer, you can vote twice each day on each computer.

Ruby has told us that Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies is the charity she chose to win the two $1,000 awarda if she wins. If she wins, we win! If she wins, all of rescue wins. If she wins, all service dogs win.

So get to voting! Tell all your friends. Tell all your computers. Spread the word. Remind them every day! Vote! Fellow bloggers, post this on your blog to help spread the word!

Wow, so many thanks to Mogley and to all our new friends for your votes, for helping us raise awareness about service dogs, and for working to help us try to make this donation to a most amazing organization, Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies! :)
